Hmmm, the POSIX standard says that if a user sets their LC_ALL to something that starts with a '/' it's to be taken as a path to the locale file to use. So in theory if we were to dynamically generate a POSIX locale file either at the start of a KDE desktop session, or when the settings are changed in the KCM, we could set the LC_ALL to point to it at login (e.g. something like '/home/user/.kde/config/locale/en...@kde). Then any Gnome / glibc / POSIX compliant apps should load that instead and end up using our settings. Of course, generating a valid POSIX locale file would be the hard part, but it is doable within KDE without trying to convince Gnome / glibc / everyone else that they should be trying to load our settings files instead.
